As best I could tell, he was saying that with the additional money they could create new (unspecified) services for registrants.  Or maybe for end users.  But what those might be was left entirely to our imaginations.  

Wolfgang:
One of the arguments for new gTLDs - ten years ago - was that it will trigger a new wave of innnovation. With new options, creativity will be stimulated and new services and applications will emerge. But what happened? One of the personal frustrtations I have - looking backwards - is that the new gTLD program with all its new (and great) diversity has delivered so far mainly just "more of the same" with the high risk of the emergence of new "oligopols". Where are the creative disruptions which open the door for new services, applications, markets in the DNS? On the one hand, the issue of "personal idendity" is obviously a problem for the next generation of Internet users, that is the teenagers of tomorrow. But the teenagers and twens of today do not link the "issue of idendity" to the option of an own personal domainname. For them - even if they have a growing mistrust into the established social networks - to have a facebook, Instagram or TikTok account is much more convenient and they do not understand the opportunities of a personal domainname.  Creators and innovators of all countries in the DNS, hear the wake up call!!!

I get the impression that the existence of such new products and services is an article of faith in the venture capital world.  Sometimes, they turn out to be correct.

I'm listening to the presentation now. 

Did anyone understand the answer to the question about how end users benefit from the Ethos/PIR transaction? 

The PIR CEO gave an answer which confused me. He said the benefit has something to do with how improving the .ORG brand will improve the brand of registrants? or end users?

Can someone help me understand what he said, and how it relates to an identifiable benefit to end users?

Thanks,
David

I’ll ask

 

From: CPWG <cpwg-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Roberto Gaetano <roberto_gaetano@hotmail.com>

To: CPWG <cpwg@icann.org>
Subject: Re: [CPWG] Meeting Details - Today: The Future of .ORG: Community Engagement' Webinar

 

Folks,

I will be unable to make the call later today, but I strongly believe that there is one question that has to be asked to Ethos - that is the one I have asked yesterday to PIR but did not get an answer to.

The PIR Board selection process is of the paramount importance. Up to now, this was done by the ISOC Trustees, and we were guaranteed that at least the PIR Directors were committees to the ISOC values and shared a vision. This is no longer true, as I assume that Ethos will appoint the future PIR Directors. What is the mechanism that we can design in order to ensure that the profiles of (at least part of) the PIR Board is sensitive to the problems and culture of the non-profit and non-commercial world?

Please consider asking this question in my absence - if you feel that this is an issue.

Cheers,

Roberto
